Savannah Guthrie and Jenna Bush Hager are not only colleagues, friends, and neighbors, they are also workout buddies.
The Today stars gave their fans a behind-the-scenes look at one of their workouts in a segment that aired on Thursday morning, and the two admitted they weren’t exactly thrilled to be sharing the cringeworthy footage with the public.
Savannah, 46, and Jenna, 36, were filmed working up a sweat while taking a dance cardio and muscle-toning class at Bari Studio in New York City — and there was plenty of moaning and groaning from Jenna’s end.

Getting through it: Both of them admitted that they don’t love to work out, and Savannah joked that Jenna has a tendency moan throughout their fitness classes
‘So my workout style is sometimes lazy, a little bit lethargic,’ Jenna explained before their workout.
‘I would also say moany,’ Savannah interjected. ‘She likes to moan. Then sometimes she moans, and then I want to moan.’
Jenna, who is mom to daughters Mila, four, and Poppy, two, admitted that she is a ‘little hesitant’ in the beginning of a workout, but she is able to finish strong once the adrenaline kicks in.
Like Jenna, Savannah is also a mother of two little ones, Vale, three, and Charley, one, and she noted that a lot of the times she is ‘very unmotivated’ when it comes to working out.
At one point during their workout, their instructor told them to keep their abs tight, and Savannah griped: ‘My abs are in tight. You can’t tell.’

Workout buddies: Savannah said working out with Jenna helps keep her accountable because she doesn’t want to be the reason they miss a sweat session
Although she admittedly doesn’t love to exercise, Savannah explained that working out with Jenna helps keep her accountable.
‘I know that if Jenna says we are going, then I have to show up,’ she said. ‘Because I don’t really want to hear about it if I’m the reason that we didn’t go.’
Savannah noted that when she is attending a workout, she is peppy — and she wasn’t lying.
Throughout the clip she can be seen cheering Jenna on and spelling out her name like a cheerleader.
‘There is a lot of clapping,’ Jenna joked, pointing out that Savannah loves to do a double clap after they jump in a circle on their mini trampolines.
‘I like to clap and dance and have fun,’ Savannah said, and Jenna added: ‘Like she’s the cheerleader that she never was.’

The two agreed that they are great workout partners because they both like to move, but neither one of them is particularly athletic.
‘Is that not hard for you?’ Jenna asked Savannah while they used weights to tone their triceps.
‘Yeah it’s hard for me. What do you think? I’m dying,’ Savannah hit back, and Jenna couldn’t help but point out that she couldn’t tell because she wasn’t making any noises.
‘We also sometimes just like to complain. Together. Loudly,’ Savanna joked of their workouts. ‘I think having a friend to work out with makes a huge difference because, first of all, it’s more fun.
‘I don’t like to go to the gym. I don’t like to exercise. I almost never want to go,’ she added. ‘But if Jenna and I are going together, it’s kind of fun.’
The two said they use their workouts as time to chat and catch up, which makes it go by faster.

Meanwhile, Jenna pointed out that working out is a healthier version of what they would rather be doing: grabbing a cheeseburger or, in Savannah’s case, drinking.
‘We sometimes go do get a glass of wine right after we work out,’ Savannah admitted, and Jenna added: ‘We try not to do that on Mondays.’
‘We do sometimes still,’ Savannah confessed.
After the video aired, Savanna and Jenna met with fitness trainer Bob Harper to talk about the benefits of having a workout buddy, which includes a willingness to try new things.
Jenna pointed out that Savannah used to be an aerobics instructor in the ’90s, so she is always the one willing to try a new dance move.
However, Savananh was quick to remind viewers that working out with a friend ‘doesn’t have to be this elaborate aerobics thing.’
‘We really got to be friends in Sochi just taking long walks,’ Savannah said of covering the 2014 Winter Olympics with Jenna.
‘She told me she couldn’t run because she had an injury, but really she was pregnant,’ Jenna recalled.
